Chapter 244: Prophecy

Vulnerable.

This is Shikamaru's comment on the armed forces of this underground organization, even if this body is only thirteen years old, with long-term efforts, Shikamaru who has been rewarded with great rewards is still qualified to condescendingly look down on the vast majority of ninjas.

With "Thousand Illusions", "Ten Directions", "Shadow Sufficient" and "Chaos", his combat ability even surpasses that of many Shangnin in Konoha Village.

Shikamaru changed the space ninjutsu "Black Magic" based on the "Flying Thunder God's Technique". Shifang's demand for chakra is much smaller than the former, with his current ability, it is enough to use it six times before it will produce a sense of detachment, in other words, as long as there is no strength far beyond Shikamaru, or a ninja who is proficient in space ninjutsu, the enemy depends on the number of people alone, it is undoubtedly more difficult to kill him than to ascend to the sky, Shikamaru has an absolute advantage in mobility ability, even if he is caught in the encirclement, he doesn't have to worry about himself, as long as his personal strength is not as good as Shikamaru, he can't resist his offensive, The presence of other people is not much better than the ornamentation.

What's more, Shikamaru also has "Thousand Illusions", this ninjutsu is far more general than the "Ten Directions", all the changes in the "Yin" attribute chakra can be regarded as one of the effects of the use of "Thousand Illusions", even the "Spiral Pill" that Shikamaru demonstrated for the ignorant fire Genma after the change in nature is the same, after the chakra composed of energy forms the essence, it can be attacked and defended, ever-changing, and this ninjutsu that is free from the shackles of "Shadow Show" can be regarded as a qualitative leap in practicality.

Although there are three mid-ninja level ninjas in this base, one is suspected of being a traitor to the upper ninja, when Shikamaru holds the burly man who was beaten half to death by Shikamaru's punch in the first hand, and a thin man with eyes in the other, he uses "black magic. When Shifang came to Tenzo's side abruptly, it had only been half an hour since he left—and that was still counting the time he had eaten at the stall before.

"It's fast." It was the first time that Tenzo had seen Shikamaru demonstrate spatial ninjutsu, and when he found Shikamaru quietly coming behind him, he was slightly stunned and said dryly, "It's really ...... soon." ”

Even if Tenzo did it himself, he didn't dare to say that he could successfully complete the task in such a short time without causing a riot.

Shikamaru shook his head and said nothing, and the two people he was holding in his hand were still directly on the ground, although the burly man had been treated by Shikamaru for a simple treatment, he was only in a state of going from having more air out and less air intake, and was too late to barely have half a life left, and the other was simply an ordinary person in charge of property, who had already fainted, but he could be employed in this shady black market, and it was not easy to deal with.

"That middle-aged man should be a small leader, so I simply brought him with me." Shikamaru kicked the captive at his feet and said to Tenzo, interrogating two people at the same time is actually much easier than interrogating one, relying on mutual suspicion and distrust, it is often easy to knock the prisoner open the mouth.

Tianzang nodded, his eyes fell on the middle-aged man with a strong body, compared to the glasses man who was just a simple coma, the injuries on his body were much more terrifying, even if Shikamaru treated him simply, but there was still a conspicuous mark on his chest, the scars and flesh were crisscrossed, and his arms were slightly twisted in an unnatural situation, and the whole person looked like he had been hit head-on by a rhinoceros running wildly, which was miserable.

"The village has already informed the local administrators, so we can just go back to the village now." Tenzo examined the injuries of the two captives a little before speaking to Shikamaru.

…………

"Is Jiraiya-sama going back to the village?" Shikamaru and Tenzo were carrying a sturdy captive tied up and running between the trees, and Tenzo suddenly asked.

“…… Yes. There is no need to hide this news, and Tenzo, who is the captain of the dark part, is also qualified to know, Shikamaru replied directly.

Shikamaru noticed the change in Tenzo's tone when he mentioned Jiraiya, and seemed to respect the other party very much, so he continued on the other party's topic: "Speaking of which, where did the title of 'Immortal' of Jiraiya-sama come from? ”

Jiraiya's reputation as an "immortal" even surpasses that of the infamous Orochimaru and the Senju Tsunade, and Shikamaru seems understandably curious about this - provided he is not a traverser.

"This one is legendary." When Tianzo talked about this topic, he seemed to be interested, and said with some emotion, the story of meeting the toad immortal in Miaomu Mountain is very popular in the ninja world, even for ninjas, it is also a rare adventure, not to mention that Jiraiya's uninhibited temperament also adds a lot to this, so even if this old man never hides his lustful nature, he can still have a high reputation in the village.

Tenzo slowly told Shikamaru a story he already knew in his previous life, Jiraiya's adventures: a talented but always whimsical young ninja, a "geek" who often makes the three generations of Hokage helpless as a teacher - in fact, Jiraiya has shown a very high talent when he was a teenager, but there is no positive shape, he can't help but be despised by others, even if he matures in the future, but his nature is like this, after all, he can't and disdains to change, until he has a trip to Miaomu Mountain, and his strength has begun to grow by leaps and bounds and is finally taken seriously.

When it was rumored that Zilai also got the prophecy of the "Child of Destiny" from the mouth of the toad immortal, coupled with the extraordinary demeanor of his disciple Bo Feng Shuimen, this made his status faintly become transcendent, even far stronger than Tsunade and Orochimaru, and the name of "Immortal" also spread far and wide.

"Child of Destiny?" Shikamaru pretended to be puzzled and interrupted Tenzo's story.

"It is said that it was a prophecy made by the Toad Immortal, a man who can change the fate of the ninja world, and some people call him the 'Son of Prophecy', or even the reincarnation of the Six Dao Immortals." Tenzo sighed and said, "Anyway, 'he' should become a disciple of Jiraiya-sama, and many people in the village once thought that the four generations of Hokage were the 'children of prophecy', until the four generations of Hokage died in the catastrophe of the Nine-Tails. ”

"Do you believe in this prophecy?" The look of pity on Tenzo's face didn't seem to be fake, so Shikamaru asked rhetorically.

"I just hope this prophecy is true." Tenzo didn't think about it, the experience of being an experimental subject, whether it was a huge torture physically or psychologically, it was impossible to say that he could have no mustard, and he developed it for the purpose of weapons, so naturally he wouldn't like war much.

It's just that the disappointment in Tenzo's tone can hardly be concealed, and it is obvious that his faith in the so-called "prophecy" has been seriously shaken - compared to the original book, Naruto Uzumaki has not done anything impressive, and Tenzo really doesn't believe that with Naruto Uzumaki's current performance, he can reach the honor of "Child of Prophecy".

Compared to Naruto Uzumaki, Tenzo prefers to believe that Shikamaru next to him is the "Child of Prophecy", but unfortunately he is not a disciple of Jiraiya like a prophecy.

"I don't really believe in ethereal prophecies, I don't have enough strength, wisdom and personality charm, let alone change the ninja world, I can't even change a village." Shikamaru said noncommittally: "The power of the individual is limited, in the final analysis, 'changing the fate of the ninja world' is to break the old order, there are not enough people to help, how to establish a new order on this basis?" Or is this 'change' nothing more than a reckless destruction? ”

"Becoming the Hokage, or the head of a village, and using this as a fulcrum to expand his sphere of influence is the foundation that the so-called 'Child of Prophecy' should have." Shikamaru asked Tenzo rhetorically, "Did you say yes?" ”

“……。” After frowning and thinking seriously about Shikamaru's words, Tianzang slowly nodded in agreement, "That's true." ”

Even if it is intended to rely on infinite moon reading to hypnotize the entire world of Uchiha Obito, it also needs the help of the members of the "Akatsuki Organization", and this method is not right or wrong, in essence, it is also on the original order, adding the ideal "order" of Uchiha Obito himself, not a simple destruction.

The survival and stability of mankind need to maintain order, and the old system and order are flawed and imperfect, and it can be broken, but before that, another order must be prepared to replace it, otherwise this is a reckless and single-minded sabotage, and no matter how many excuses there are, it is a heinous act.

For example, if "murder pays for life" is too general and not detailed enough as a law, but it cannot be directly removed and then slowly pondered, otherwise the only order will disappear and there will be chaos.

To establish a new order, as Shikamaru said to Hinata Ninji at the beginning, it is not something that one or two people can easily do, Uchiha Obito's infinite moon reading can also rely on the power of illusion to control and control the order of the entire world with the power of one person, this is just hypnosis, it is not really to establish order, and without this power, how can one person do it? Who disobeyed whom did he destroy? One person is hundreds of millions?

Without a starting point, it is not so easy to become a world leader.

Shikamaru saw that Tenzo's expression did not seem to be fake, and he was much more satisfied, his previous words were actually faintly instilling a concept in Tenzo, and now it seems that the effect is good.

…………

Shikamaru's Shangnin promotion exam went all the way unimpeded, and he achieved good results in a series of exams, and thus successfully obtained the qualification certificate of Shangnin.

The thirteen-year-old Shinobi is indeed enough to cause a shock in Konoha Village, although the deeds of Kakashi Hachiki becoming a Shinobi at the age of twelve may not be able to cause such a big sensation, but geniuses can always cause people to talk about it, precisely because of their rarity.

It's a pity that there is something more important than Shikamaru becoming a shinobi at the age of thirteen, which is attracting most people's attention - the third and most important individual match of the Shinobi exam is about to be held!
